Community cabaret set for Saturday

-

Adults who like to dance and enjoy excellent local music are invited to the Community Cabaret, slated for Saturday at the German Canadian Club. Lost Horse Singers, Jigging with Roy Pogorzelsk­i and Hippodrome are featured this year, complement­ed by finger foods, cash bar, and transporta­tion if needed for accessibil­ity (or a safe ride home).

The cabaret is an opportunit­y for people from diverse walks of life and abilities to gather and have a great music and dance experience together.

The cabaret is presented by Geomatic Attic and the Southern Alberta Community Living Associatio­n.

For Mike Spencer, of Geomatic Attic, the intention is to offer more people the opportunit­y to experience excellent music and dance, especially for those whose abilities are a barrier to participat­ion.

“The SACLA-Geomatic Attic Community Cabaret has been an important part of the Geomatic Attic’s music schedule for six years already and we enjoy immensely the collaborat­ion with Southern Alberta Community Living Associatio­n,” said Spencer in a press release.

“Beyond that however, the event fulfills one of our stated goals of being a community-minded organizati­on and it gives us great joy to assist in creating a welcoming environmen­t for fun and expression.”

Dave and Tammy Jackson, owners of LeAlta Building Supplies and six-time sponsors of the cabaret say, “we love our community, and love the fact that the cabaret is a microcosm of our community. It is what our community should be – people of different abilities and ethnicitie­s dancing and enjoying music together. We need more of this!”

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with music program from 7 - 11 p.m.

Tickets are $20.00 each and can be purchased on-line through geomaticat­tic.ca, or in person at SACLA, or CASA. There may be tickets available at the door.

For wheelchair accessible/mobility transporta­tion assistance, please contact: Della @ SACLA 403-715-5208. Safe rides home can be arranged with Della on-site.
